(5) In that section, for subsections (5) and (6) there is substituted— “(5) For the purposes of this section, a person has a relevant interest in land if— (a) that person is for the time being entitled to dispose of the fee simple of the land, whether in possession or in reversion; or (b) that person holds, or is entitled to the rents and profits of, the land under a lease or agreement, the unexpired term of which exceeds one month.”. (6) In section 5 (earliest date for execution of declaration)— (a) in subsection (1), after “publication” there is inserted “in a local newspaper circulating in the area in which the land is situated”; and (b) subsection (2) is omitted. (7) In section 7 (constructive notice to treat), in subsection (1)(a), the words “(as modified by section 4 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981)” are omitted. (8) References to the 1965 Act in the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 are construed as references to that Act as applied by section 125 of the 2008 Act to the compulsory acquisition of land under this Order. Acquisition of subsoil only 37.—(1) The undertaker may acquire compulsorily so much of, or such rights in, the subsoil of the land referred to in paragraph (1) of article 30 (compulsory acquisition of land) as may be required for any purpose for which that land may be acquired under that provision instead of acquiring the whole of the land. (2) Where the undertaker acquires any part of, or rights in, the subsoil of land under paragraph (1), the undertaker is not required to acquire an interest in any other part of the land. (3) Paragraph (2) does not prevent article 38 (acquisition of part of certain properties) from applying where the undertaker acquires a cellar, vault, arch or other construction forming part of a house, building or manufactory. Acquisition of part of certain properties 38.—(1) This article applies instead of section 8(1) of the 1965 Act (other provisions as divided land) (as applied by section 125 of the 2008 Act (application of compulsory acquisition provisions)) where—. (a) a notice to treat is served on a person (“the owner”) under the 1965 Act (as applied) in respect of land forming only part of a house, building or manufactory or of land consisting of a house with a park or garden (“the land subject to the notice to treat”); and (b) a copy of this article is served on the owner with the notice to treat. (2) In such a case, the owner may, within the period of 21 days beginning with the day on which the notice was served, serve on the undertaker a counter-notice objecting to the sale of the land subject to the notice to treat which states that the owner is willing and able to sell the whole (“the land subject to the counter-notice”). (3) If no such counter-notice is served within that period, the owner must sell the land subject to the notice to treat. (4) If such a counter-notice is served within that period, the question whether the owner is required to sell only the land subject to the notice to treat is, unless the undertaker agrees to take the land subject to the counter-notice, to be referred to the tribunal.
22
(5) If on such a reference the tribunal determines that the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken— (a) without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice; or (b) where the land subject to the notice to treat consists of a house with a park or garden, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house, the owner must sell the land subject to the notice to treat. (6) If on such a reference the tribunal determines that only part of the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken— (a) without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice; or (b) where the land subject to the notice to treat consists of a house with a park or garden, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house, the notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for that part. (7) If on such a reference the tribunal determines that— (a) the land subject to the notice to treat cannot be taken without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice; but (b) the material detriment is confined to a part of the land subject to the counter-notice, the notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for the land to which the material detriment is confined in addition to the land already subject to the notice, whether or not the additional land is land which the undertaker is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order. (8) If the undertaker agrees to take the land subject to the counter-notice, or if the tribunal determines that— (a) none of the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice or, as the case may be, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house; and (b) the material detriment is not confined to a part of the land subject to the counter-notice, the notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for the land subject to the counter-notice whether or not the whole of that land is land which the undertaker is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order. (9) Where, by reason of a determination by the tribunal under this article, a notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for less land or more land than that specified in the notice, the undertaker may, within the period of 6 weeks beginning with the day on which the determination is made, withdraw the notice to treat; and, in that event, must pay the owner compensation for any loss or expense occasioned to the owner by the giving and withdrawal of the notice, to be determined in case of dispute by the tribunal. (10) Where the owner is required under this article to sell only part of a house, building or manufactory or of land consisting of a house with a park or garden, the undertaker must pay the owner compensation for any loss sustained by the owner due to the severance of that part in addition to the value of the interest acquired. Rights under or over streets 39.—(1) The undertaker may enter on and appropriate so much of the subsoil of, or air-space over, any street within the Order limits as may be required for the purposes of the authorised development and may use the subsoil or air-space for those purposes or any other purpose ancillary to the authorised development. (2) Subject to paragraph (3), the undertaker may exercise any power conferred by paragraph (1) in relation to a street without being required to acquire any part of the street or any easement or right in the street.
23
(3) Paragraph (2) does not apply in relation to— (a) any subway or underground building; or (b) any cellar, vault, arch or other construction in, on or under a street which forms part of a building fronting onto the street. (4) Subject to paragraph (5), any person who is an owner or occupier of land appropriated under paragraph (1) without the undertaker acquiring any part of that person’s interest in the land, and who suffers loss as a result, is entitled to compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. (5) Compensation is not payable under paragraph (4) to any person who is an undertaker to whom section 85 of the 1991 Act (sharing cost of necessary measures) applies in respect of measures of which the allowable costs are to be borne in accordance with that section. Temporary use of land for carrying out the authorised development 40.—(1) The undertaker may, in connection with the carrying out of the authorised development— (a) enter on and take temporary possession of— (i) the land specified in columns (1) and (2) of Schedule 6 (land of which temporary possession may be taken) for the purpose specified in relation to that land in column (3) of that Schedule relating to the part of the authorised development specified in column (4) of that Schedule; and (ii) any of the Order land in respect of which no notice of entry has been served under section 11 of the 1965 Act or no declaration has been made under section 4 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981; (b) remove any buildings and vegetation from that land; and (c) construct temporary works (including the provision of means of access) and buildings on that land. (2) Not less than 14 days before entering on and taking temporary possession of land under this article the undertaker must serve notice of the intended entry on the owners and occupiers of the land. (3) The undertaker may not, without the agreement of the owners of the land, remain in possession of any land under this article— (a) in the case of land of which temporary possession may be taken, after the end of the period of 1 year beginning with the date of completion of the part of the authorised development specified in relation to that land in column (4) of Schedule 6; (b) in the case of any Order land, after the end of the period of 2 years beginning with the date of completion of the work for which temporary possession of the land was taken unless the undertaker has, by the end of that period, served a notice of entry under section 11 of the 1965 Act or made a declaration under section 4 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 in relation to that land. (4) Before giving up possession of land of which temporary possession has been taken under this article, the undertaker must remove all temporary works and restore the land to the reasonable satisfaction of the owners of the land; but the undertaker is not required to replace a building removed under this article. (5) The undertaker must pay compensation to the owners and occupiers of land of which temporary possession is taken under this article for any loss or damage arising from the exercise in relation to the land of any power conferred by this article. (6) Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (5), or as to the amount of the compensation, is to be determined under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. (7) Nothing in this article affects any liability to pay compensation under section 152 of the 2008 Act (compensation in case where no right to claim in nuisance) or under any other enactment
24
in respect of loss or damage arising from the carrying out of the authorised development, other than loss or damage for which compensation is payable under paragraph (5). (8) The undertaker may not compulsorily acquire under this Order the land referred to in paragraph (1)(a)(i) except that the undertaker is not precluded from— (a) acquiring new rights over any part of that land under article 34 (compulsory acquisition of rights); or (b) acquiring any part of the subsoil (or rights in the subsoil) of that land under article 37 (acquisition of subsoil only). (9) Where the undertaker takes possession of land under this article, the undertaker is not required to acquire the land or any interest in it. (10) Section 13 of the 1965 Act (refusal to give possession to acquiring authority) applies to the temporary use of land under this article to the same extent as it applies to the compulsory acquisition of land under this Order by virtue of section 125 of the 2008 Act (application of compulsory acquisition provisions). Temporary use of land for maintaining authorised development 41.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), at any time during the maintenance period relating to any part of the authorised development, the undertaker may— (a) enter upon and take temporary possession of any land within the Order limits if such possession is reasonably required for the purpose of maintaining the authorised development; and (b) construct such temporary works (including the provision of means of access) and buildings on the land as may be reasonably necessary for that purpose. (2) Paragraph (1) does not authorise the undertaker to take temporary possession of— (a) any house or garden belonging to a house; or (b) any building (other than a house) if it is for the time being occupied. (3) Not less than 28 days before entering upon and taking temporary possession of land under this article the undertaker must serve notice of the intended entry on the owners and occupiers of the land.

(6) The undertaker must pay compensation to the owners and occupiers of land of which temporary possession is taken under this article for any loss or damage arising from the exercise in relation to the land of the provisions of this article. (7) Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (6), or as to the amount of the compensation, is to be determined under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. (8) Nothing in this article affects any liability to pay compensation under section 152 of the 2008 Act (compensation in case where no right to claim in nuisance) or under any other enactment in respect of loss or damage arising from the maintenance of the authorised development, other than loss or damage for which compensation is payable under paragraph (6). (9) Where the undertaker takes possession of land under this article, the undertaker is not required to acquire the land or any interest in it. (10) Section 13 of the 1965 Act (refusal to give possession to acquiring authority) applies to the temporary use of land under this article to the same extent as it applies to the compulsory acquisition of land under this Order by virtue of section 125 of the 2008 Act (application of compulsory acquisition provisions).
25

PART 2 LICENSED ACTIVITIES 3. For the purpose of constructing and maintaining the authorised development the licence holder may carry out the activities set out in this Part as if those activities were licensed under the 2009 Act. Construction of the quay
4.—(1) The licence holder is permitted to construct the quay (Work No. 1) and carry out associated land reclamation within the quay limits and according to the following specification:— (a) no more than 650 tubular and 1300 sheet steel perimeter piles may be driven into the bed of the estuary to form the external face of the quay, where such piles are to be installed from named vessels moored in the estuary; (b) 2 return walls may be constructed between the ends of the quay and the existing flood defence wall, comprising no more than 500 tubular and 1000 sheet piles driven into the bed of the estuary from named vessels and also earthwork revetments with no more than 100,000 tonnes of rock armour protection, such revetments and rock armour to be constructed using land-based plant; (c) no more than 750 flap anchor piles may be fixed to the landward face of the perimeter piles and seated in a trench on the bed of the estuary, to be installed from named vessels moored in the estuary; (d) no more than 100 steel anchor piles may be driven into the bed of the estuary and fixed to perimeter piles, to be installed from named vessels moored in the estuary; (e) the area of estuary approximately 50 metres landward of the quay perimeter piles may be reclaimed by depositing marine dredged sands and gravels from named vessels using rainbowing techniques; (f) the remaining area of estuary enclosed by the quay perimeter piles and the two return walls may be reclaimed using marine dredged sands and gravels by constructing two granular dams that extend from the existing flood defence wall to the area reclaimed under paragraph (e), so that the dams divide the remaining reclaim area into three approximately equal cells, after which named vessels are to pump fluidised granular material into each cell in sequence, allowing estuarine water that is retained within each cell to overflow the dams as the fluidised material is deposited and settles within the cell, such activity to continue until all cells attain their design levels; and (g) steel plates may be attached to the perimeter piles by welding and bolting, and then a fender may be attached to each steel plate by bolts, all such works being undertaken from a man basket suspended from a crane located on land. (2) Drainage and disposal outfalls and cooling water outfalls may be incorporated into the quay but for the avoidance of doubt the use of these outfalls is not licensed by this Schedule. (3) Monitoring equipment fixed to buoys must be deployed at locations in the estuary before, during and after the piling works permitted by sub-paragraph (1) in accordance with the marine environmental management and monitoring plan.
40
Temporary dolphins 5.—(1) The licence holder is permitted to construct and remove up to seven temporary dolphins within the berthing pocket, such that each dolphin comprises three tubular steel piles driven into the bed of the estuary from named plant moored in the estuary, after which the piles must be braced with interconnecting steelwork. (2) Monitoring equipment fixed to buoys must be deployed at locations in the estuary during the piling works permitted by sub-paragraph (1) in accordance with the marine environmental management and monitoring plan referred to in paragraph 15. (3) Each temporary dolphin must be removed as soon as practicable once the activities for which they have been constructed have been completed. Berthing pocket infill 6. Following or during the dredging of the berthing pocket, the licence holder is permitted to deposit up to 250,000 tonnes of gravel and rock from named vessels into the berthing pocket up to a maximum level of -11.5 metres chart datum and must not undertake maintenance dredging below the level of -11 metres chart datum. Pumping station 7.—(1) The licence holder is permitted to construct a pumping station at the pumping station outfall according to the following specification— (a) a temporary steel cofferdam for the installation of up to six drainage pipes may be installed through the existing flood defence and extend onto the foreshore, after which the flood defence wall must be reinstated to its original seaward profile using inert soil materials and concrete; (b) a stone mattress may be placed within the drainage channel created under (a) over a distance of 20 metres seawards of the outfall pipes; and (c) a pumping station may be constructed such that its seaward extent is above the stone mattress. (2) Works outside the cofferdam must be undertaken using land based plant operating from a berm formed within the south-eastern return wall of the quay. Compensation site creation 8. The licence holder is permitted to remove a 250 metre section of the existing flood wall to create the Cherry Cobb Sands breach under the following conditions— (a) the Cherry Cobb Sands breach must not be created until a new flood defence has been constructed landward of the existing flood defence; (b) the Cherry Cobb Sands breach must not be created until a channel has been excavated from the site of the breach to the foreshore at the level of the breach; and (c) all material is to be removed using land-based plant.

(3) No application for the Secretary of State’s approval under article 23 is to be made in respect of a tidal work until plans and sections in respect of that tidal work submitted under sub-paragraph (1) have been approved by the Conservancy Authority. (4) Any tidal work not requiring the Secretary of State’s approval under article 23 must not be constructed, and no tidal work is to be maintained, except in accordance with such plans as may be approved in writing by the Conservancy Authority or determined under paragraph 25. (5) Any approval of the Conservancy Authority required under this paragraph must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed but may be given subject to such reasonable requirements as the Conservancy Authority may make for the protection of— (a) traffic in, or the flow or regime of, the river; (b) the use of its operational land or the river for the purposes of performing its functions; or (c) the performance of any of its functions connected with environmental protection. (6) Requirements made under sub-paragraph (5) may include conditions as to— (a) the relocation, provision and maintenance of works, moorings, apparatus and equipment necessitated by the tidal work; and (b) the expiry of the approval if the Harbour Authority does not commence construction of the tidal work approved within a prescribed period. (7) Subject to sub-paragraphs (8) and (9), any such approval is deemed to have been refused if it is neither given nor refused within 42 days of the specified day. (8) Before making a decision on any such approval, the Conservancy Authority must take into account any opinion on plans and sections provided to it by the Environment Agency.
52
(9) Accordingly, an approval of the Conservancy Authority under this paragraph is not deemed to have been unreasonably withheld if approval within the time limited by sub-paragraph (7) has not been given pending the outcome of any consultation on the approval in question that the Conservancy Authority is obliged in the proper exercise of its functions to carry out provided that during the course of such consultation, the Conservancy Authority has acted with all due expedition. (10) In this paragraph “the specified day” means, in relation to any tidal work— (a) the day on which plans of that work are submitted to the Conservancy Authority under sub-paragraph (1); or (b) the day on which the Harbour Authority provides the Conservancy Authority with all such particulars of the work as have been reasonably requested by the Conservancy Authority under that sub-paragraph; whichever is later. (11) Whenever the Harbour Authority provides the Secretary of State with an environmental document it must at the same time send a copy to the Conservancy Authority. 4. When submitting any document specified in the Table in paragraph 3(2) to the MMO or the relevant planning authority as the case may be, the Harbour Authority must forward any comments received from the harbour master in response to the consultation undertaken with the harbour master in accordance with that paragraph. 5. Any operations for the construction of any tidal work approved in accordance with this Order, once commenced, must be carried out by the Harbour Authority without unnecessary delay and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Conservancy Authority so that river traffic, the flow or regime of the river and the exercise of the Conservancy Authority’s functions do not suffer more interference than is reasonably practicable, and an officer of the Conservancy Authority is entitled at all reasonable times, on giving such notice as may be reasonable in the circumstances, to inspect and survey such operations. Discharges, etc. 6.—(1) The Harbour Authority must not without the consent of the Conservancy Authority— (a) deposit in or allow to fall or be washed into the river any gravel, soil or other material; or (b) discharge or allow to escape either directly or indirectly into the river any offensive or injurious matter in suspension or otherwise. (2) Any consent of the Conservancy Authority under this paragraph must not be unreasonably withheld but may be given subject to such terms and conditions as the Conservancy Authority may reasonably impose. (3) Any such approval is deemed to have been given if it is neither given nor refused (or is refused but without an indication of the grounds for refusal) within 35 days of the day on which the request for consent is submitted under sub-paragraph (1). (4) In its application to the discharge of water into the river, article 20 (discharge of water) has effect subject to the terms of any conditions attached to a consent given under this paragraph. 7. The Harbour Authority must not, in exercise of the powers conferred by article 20 (discharge of water), damage or interfere with the beds or banks of any watercourse forming part of the river unless such damage or interference is approved as a tidal work under this Order or is otherwise approved in writing by the Conservancy Authority. Obstruction in river 8. If any pile, stump or other obstruction to navigation becomes exposed in the course of constructing any tidal work (other than a pile, stump or other obstruction on the site of a structure comprised in any permanent work), the Harbour Authority, as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of notice in writing from the Conservancy Authority requiring such action, must remove it from the river or, if it is not reasonably practicable to remove it—
53
(a) cut the obstruction off at such level below the bed of the river as the Conservancy Authority may reasonably direct; or (b) take such other steps to make the obstruction safe as the Conservancy Authority may reasonably require. Removal etc. of the Conservancy Authority moorings and buoys 9. If— (a) by reason of the construction of any tidal work it is reasonably necessary for the Conservancy Authority to incur reasonable costs in temporarily or permanently altering, removing, re-siting, repositioning or reinstating existing moorings or aids to navigation (including navigation marks or lights) owned by the Conservancy Authority, or laying down and removing substituted moorings or buoys, or carrying out dredging operations for any such purpose, not being costs which it would have incurred for any other reason; and (b) the Conservancy Authority gives to the Harbour Authority not less than 28 days’ notice of its intention to incur such costs, and takes into account any representations which the Harbour Authority may make in response to the notice within 14 days of the receipt of the notice, the Harbour Authority must pay the costs reasonably so incurred by the Conservancy Authority. Navigational lights, buoys, etc. 10. In addition to any requirement under articles 26 (lights on tidal works etc. during construction) and 28 (permanent lights on tidal works), the Harbour Authority, at or near every tidal work, and any other work of which the Harbour Authority is in possession in exercise of any of the powers conferred by this Order (being in either case a work which is below mean high water level forming part of the river), must exhibit such lights, lay down such buoys and take such other steps for preventing danger to navigation as the Conservancy Authority may from time to time reasonably require. Removal of temporary works 11. On completion of the construction of any part of a permanent authorised work, the Harbour Authority must as soon as practicable remove— (a) any temporary tidal work carried out only for the purposes of that part of the permanent work; and (b) any materials, plant and equipment used for such construction, and must make good the site to the reasonable satisfaction of the Conservancy Authority. Protective action 12.—(1) If any tidal work— (a) is constructed otherwise than in accordance with the requirements of this Part of this Schedule or with any condition in an approval given pursuant to paragraph 3(4); or (b) during construction gives rise to sedimentation, scouring, currents or wave action detrimental to traffic in, or the flow or regime of, the river, then the Conservancy Authority may by notice in writing require the Harbour Authority at the Harbour Authority’s own expense to comply with the remedial requirements specified in the notice. (2) The requirements that may be specified in a notice given under sub-paragraph (1) are— (a) in the case of a tidal work to which sub-paragraph (1)(a) applies, such requirements as may be specified in the notice for the purpose of giving effect to the requirements of— (i) this Part of this Schedule; or (ii) the condition that has been breached; or
54
(b) in any case within sub-paragraph (1)(b), such requirements as may be specified in the notice for the purpose of preventing, mitigating or making good the sedimentation, scouring, currents or wave action so far as required by the needs of traffic in, or the flow or regime of, the river. (3) If the Harbour Authority does not comply with a notice under sub-paragraph (1), or is unable to do so, the Conservancy Authority may in writing require the Harbour Authority to— (a) remove, alter or pull down the tidal work, and where the tidal work is removed to restore the site of that work (to such extent as the Conservancy Authority reasonably requires) to its former condition; or (b) take such other action as the Conservancy Authority may reasonably specify for the purpose of remedying the non-compliance to which the notice relates. (4) If a tidal work gives rise to environmental impacts over and above those anticipated by any environmental document, the Harbour Authority, in compliance with its duties under any enactment and, in particular, under section 48A of the Harbours Act 1964(a), must take such action as is necessary to prevent or mitigate those environmental impacts and in doing so must consult and seek to agree the necessary measures with the Conservancy Authority. (5) If the Conservancy Authority becomes aware that any tidal work is causing an environmental impact over and above those anticipated by any environmental document, the Conservancy Authority must notify the Harbour Authority of that environmental impact, the reasons why the Conservancy Authority believes that the environmental impact is being caused by the tidal work and of measures that the Conservancy Authority reasonably believes are necessary to counter or mitigate that environmental impact. (6) The Harbour Authority must implement the measures that the Conservancy Authority has notified to the Harbour Authority or must implement such other measures as the Harbour Authority believes are necessary to counter the environmental impact identified, giving reasons to the Conservancy Authority as to why it has implemented such other measures. Abandoned or decayed works 13.—(1) If any tidal work or any other work of which the Harbour Authority is in possession in exercise of any of the powers conferred by this Order (being in either case a work which is below mean high water level) is abandoned or falls into decay, the Conservancy Authority may by notice in writing require the Harbour Authority to take such reasonable steps as may be specified in the notice either to repair or restore the work, or any part of it, or to remove the work and (to such extent as the Conservancy Authority reasonably requires) to restore the site to its former condition. (2) If any tidal work is in such condition that it is, or is likely to become, a danger to or an interference with navigation in the river, the Conservancy Authority may by notice in writing require the Harbour Authority to take such reasonable steps as may be specified in the notice— (a) to repair and restore the work or part of it; or (b) if the Harbour Authority so elects, to remove the tidal work and (to such extent as the Conservancy Authority reasonably requires) to restore the site to its former condition. (3) If after such reasonable period as may be specified in a notice under this paragraph the Harbour Authority has failed to begin taking steps to comply with the requirements of the notice, or after beginning has failed to make reasonably expeditious progress towards their implementation, the Conservancy Authority may carry out the works specified in the notice and any expenditure reasonably incurred by it in so doing is recoverable from the Harbour Authority. Facilities for navigation 14.—(1) The Harbour Authority must not in the exercise of the powers conferred by this Order interfere with any marks, lights or other navigational aids in the river without the agreement of the
(a) 1964. c. 40. Section 48A was inserted by the Transport and Works Act 1992 (c. 42), section 63(1) and Schedule 3 para. 6; S.I. 1992/1347, article 2 and Schedule.
55
Conservancy Authority, and must ensure that access to such aids remains available during and following construction of any tidal works. (2) The Harbour Authority must provide at any tidal works, or must afford reasonable facilities at such works (including an electricity supply) for the Conservancy Authority to provide at the Harbour Authority’s cost, from time to time, such navigational lights, signals, radar or other apparatus for the benefit, control and direction of navigation of users of the river in general as the Conservancy Authority may deem necessary by reason of the construction of any tidal works, and must ensure that access remains available to apparatus during and following construction of such works. (3) The Harbour Authority must comply with the directions of the harbour master from time to time with regard to the lighting on the tidal works or within the harbour, or the screening of such lighting, so as to ensure safe navigation on the river. Survey of riverbed 15.—(1) Before the commencement of construction of the first tidal work to be constructed following approval under article 23 (tidal works not to be executed without approval of the Secretary of State), the Conservancy Authority may, at the Harbour Authority’s reasonable expense, carry out a survey of such parts of the river as might be affected by sedimentation, scouring, currents or wave action that might result from the construction of such of the authorised works as would constitute tidal works if they were to be constructed, for the purposes of establishing the condition of the river at that time. (2) Before the commencement of construction of any other tidal work approved under article 23, the Conservancy Authority may, at the Harbour Authority’s reasonable expense, carry out a survey of such parts of the river as might be affected by sedimentation, scouring, currents or wave action resulting from that tidal work for the purpose of establishing the condition of the river at that time. (3) The Conservancy Authority may carry out such surveys of the river as are reasonably required during the construction of any tidal work to ascertain the effect of that tidal work on the river and the Conservancy Authority must make available to the Harbour Authority the results of any such survey in electronic and paper format. (4) After completion of, respectively, any tidal work and all the tidal works constructed under this Order, the Conservancy Authority may, at the Harbour Authority’s reasonable expense, carry out a further survey of the parts of the river which were surveyed prior to the construction of that work, or as the case may be a survey of the completed tidal works as so constructed, for the purpose of establishing the condition of the river and the effect that the tidal work is, or as the case may be the tidal works are, having on navigation, the flow and the regime of the river and the exercise of the Conservancy Authority’ functions. (5) The Conservancy Authority must not under this paragraph carry out a survey of any part of the river as respects which the Harbour Authority has provided to the Conservancy Authority survey material which the Conservancy Authority is reasonably satisfied establishes the condition of the river, and in the case of a survey under sub-paragraph (4), the effect of the tidal work, or as the case may be the tidal works. Sedimentation, etc.: remedial action 16.—(1) This paragraph applies if any part of the river becomes subject to sedimentation, scouring, currents or wave action which— (a) is, during the period beginning with the commencement of the construction of that tidal work and ending with the expiration of 10 years after the date on which all the tidal works constructed under this Order are completed, wholly or partly caused by a tidal work; and (b) for the safety of navigation or for the protection of works in the river, should in the reasonable opinion of the Conservancy Authority be removed or made good. (2) The Harbour Authority must either—
56
(a) pay to the Conservancy Authority any additional expense to which the Conservancy Authority may reasonably be put in dredging the river to remove the sedimentation or in making good the scouring so far as (in either case) it is attributable to the tidal work; or (b) carry out the necessary dredging at its own expense and subject to the prior approval of the Conservancy Authority, such prior approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and the reasonable expenses payable by the Harbour Authority under this paragraph include any additional expenses accrued or incurred by the Conservancy Authority in carrying out surveys or studies in connection with the implementation of this paragraph. Indemnity 17.—(1) The Harbour Authority is responsible for and must make good to the Conservancy Authority all reasonable financial costs or losses not otherwise provided for in this Part of this Schedule which may reasonably be incurred or suffered by the Conservancy Authority by reason of— (a) the construction or operation of the authorised works or the failure of the authorised works; (b) anything done in relation to a mooring or buoy under paragraph 9; or; (c) any act or omission of the Harbour Authority, its employees, contractors or agents or others whilst engaged upon the construction or operation of the authorised works or dealing with any failure of the authorised works, and the Harbour Authority must indemnify the Conservancy Authority from and against all claims and demands arising out of or in connection with the authorised works or any such failure, act or omission. (2) The fact that any act or thing may have been done— (a) by the Conservancy Authority on behalf of the Harbour Authority; or (b) by the Harbour Authority, its employees, contractors or agents in accordance with plans or particulars submitted to or modifications or conditions specified by the Conservancy Authority, or in a manner approved by the Conservancy Authority, or under its supervision or the supervision of its duly authorised representative, does not (if it was done or required without negligence on the part of the Conservancy Authority or its duly authorised representative, employee, contractor or agent) excuse the Harbour Authority from liability under the provisions of this paragraph. (3) The Conservancy Authority must give the Harbour Authority reasonable notice of any such claim or demand as is referred to in sub-paragraph (1), and no settlement or compromise of any such claim or demand is to be made without the prior consent of the Harbour Authority. Entry for survey, etc. 18.—(1) Before exercising the powers conferred by article 22 (authority to survey and enter the land) to enter any land situated below the level of high water the undertaker must provide the harbour master with written particulars of— (a) the location of the land (including a plan); (b) the nature of the things proposed to be done in that land in exercise of those powers; (c) the duration and frequency of the undertaker’s intended presence on the land; and (d) any vehicles or equipment proposed to be brought on the land, and such other details as the harbour master may reasonably request. (2) The undertaker may not enter any land the subject of written particulars provided under subparagraph (1) except in accordance with such conditions as the harbour master may impose, including conditions as to the time of entry and the way in which activities are to be carried out.
57

In this Part of this Schedule— “the engineer” means an engineer appointed by Network Rail for the purposes of this Order; “railway property” means any railway belonging to Network Rail and— (a) any station, land, works, apparatus and equipment belonging to Network Rail or connected with any such railway; and (b) any easement or other property interest held by or used for the benefit of Network Rail for the purposes of such railway or works, apparatus or equipment; and “specified work” means so much of any of the authorised development as is situated upon, across, under, over or within 15 metres of, or may in any way adversely affect, railway property. 34.—(1) Where under this Part of this Schedule Network Rail is required to give its consent or approval in respect of any matter, that consent or approval must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed but may be subject to reasonable conditions (while recognising that the engineer has sole discretion in matters relating to safety) and is subject to the condition that Network Rail complies with any relevant railway operational procedures and any obligations under its network licence or under statute. (2) In so far as any specified work or the acquisition or use of railway property is or may be subject to railway operational procedures, Network Rail must— (a) co-operate with the undertaker with a view to avoiding undue delay and securing conformity as between any plans approved by the engineer and requirements emanating from those procedures; and (b) use its reasonable endeavours to avoid any conflict arising between the application of those procedures and the proper implementation of the authorised development under this Order. 35.—(1) The undertaker must not exercise the powers conferred by article 22 (authority to survey and investigate the land) or the powers conferred by section 11(3) of the 1965 Act as
60
applied to this Order by the 2008 Act in respect of any railway property unless the exercise of such powers is with the consent of Network Rail. (2) The undertaker must not in the exercise of the powers conferred by this Order prevent pedestrian or vehicular access to any railway property, unless preventing such access is with the consent of Network Rail. 36.—(1) The undertaker, before commencing construction of any specified work, must supply to Network Rail proper and sufficient plans of that work for the reasonable approval of the engineer and the specified work must not be commenced except in accordance with such plans as have been approved in writing by the engineer or settled by arbitration. (2) The approval of the engineer under sub-paragraph (1) must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and if by the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the date on which such plans have been supplied to Network Rail the engineer has not intimated his disapproval of those plans and the grounds of disapproval the undertaker may serve upon the engineer written notice requiring the engineer to intimate approval or disapproval within a further period of 28 days beginning with the date upon which the engineer receives written notice from the undertaker. (3) If by the end of the further period of 28 days the engineer has not intimated approval or disapproval, the engineer is to be deemed to have approved the plans as submitted. (4) If by the end of the period of 56 days beginning with the date on which such plans have been supplied to Network Rail, Network Rail gives notice to the undertaker that Network Rail desires itself to construct any part of a specified work which in the opinion of the engineer will or may affect the stability of railway property or the safe operation of traffic on the railways of Network Rail then, if the undertaker desires such part of the specified work to be constructed, Network Rail must construct it without unnecessary delay on behalf of and to the reasonable satisfaction of the undertaker in accordance with the plans approved or deemed to be approved or settled under this paragraph. (5) When signifying approval of the plans the engineer may specify any protective works (whether temporary or permanent) which in the engineer’s opinion must be carried out before the commencement of the construction of a specified work to ensure the safety or stability of railway property or the continuation of safe and efficient operation of the railways of Network Rail or the services of operators using the same (including any relocation of works, apparatus and equipment necessitated by a specified work and the comfort and safety of passengers who may be affected by the specified works), and such protective works as may be reasonably necessary for those purposes must be constructed by Network Rail but at the expense of the undertaker, or if Network Rail so desires such protective works must be carried out by the undertaker at its own expense without unnecessary delay, and the undertaker must not commence the construction of the specified works until the engineer has notified the undertaker that the protective works have been completed to the engineer’s reasonable satisfaction. 37.—(1) Any specified work and any protective works to be constructed by virtue of paragraph 36(5), when commenced, must be constructed— (a) without unnecessary delay in accordance with the plans approved or deemed to have been approved or settled under paragraph 36; (b) under the supervision (where appropriate and if given) and to the reasonable satisfaction of the engineer; (c) in such manner as to cause as little damage as is possible to railway property; and (d) so far as is reasonably practicable, so as not to interfere with or obstruct the free, uninterrupted and safe use of any railway of Network Rail or the traffic on it and the use by passengers of railway property. (2) If any damage to railway property or any such interference or obstruction is caused by the carrying out of, or in consequence of the construction of a specified work, the undertaker, regardless of any approval described in sub-paragraph (1)(a), must make good such damage and must pay to Network Rail all reasonable expenses to which Network Rail may be put and compensation for any loss which it may sustain by reason of any such damage, interference or obstruction.
61
(3) Nothing in this Part of this Schedule imposes— (a) any liability on the undertaker with respect to any damage, costs, expenses or loss attributable to the negligence of Network Rail or its servants, contractors or agents; or (b) any liability on Network Rail with respect to any damage, costs, expenses or loss attributable to the negligence of the undertaker or its servants, contractors or agents. 38. The undertaker must— (a) at all times afford reasonable facilities to the engineer for access to a specified work during its construction; and (b) supply the engineer with all such information as the engineer may reasonably require with regard to a specified work or the method of constructing it. 39. Network Rail must at all times afford reasonable facilities to the undertaker and its agents for access to any works carried out by Network Rail under this Part of this Schedule during their construction and must supply the undertaker with such information as it may reasonably require with regard to such works or the method of constructing them. 40.—(1) If any permanent or temporary alterations or additions to railway property, or any protective works under paragraph 36(5), are reasonably necessary during the construction of a specified work, or during a period of 12 months after the opening for public use of any part of the authorised development that includes a specified work, in consequence of the construction of that specified work, such alterations and additions may be carried out by Network Rail and if Network Rail gives to the undertaker reasonable notice of its intention to carry out such alterations or additions, the undertaker must pay to Network Rail all costs reasonably and properly incurred in constructing those alterations or additions including, in respect of any such alterations and additions as are to be permanent, a capitalised sum representing the increase of the costs which may be expected to be reasonably incurred by Network Rail in maintaining, working and, when necessary, renewing any such alterations or additions. (2) If during the construction of a specified work by the undertaker, Network Rail gives notice to the undertaker that Network Rail desires itself to construct that part of the specified work which in the opinion of the engineer is endangering the stability of railway property or the safe operation of traffic on the railways of Network Rail then, if the undertaker desires that part of the specified work to be constructed, Network Rail must assume construction of that part of the specified work and the undertaker, regardless of any such approval of a specified work under paragraph 36(1), must pay to Network Rail all reasonable expenses to which Network Rail may be put and compensation for any loss which it may suffer by reason of the execution by Network Rail of that specified work. (3) If the cost of maintaining, working or renewing railway property is reduced in consequence of any such alterations or additions, a capitalised sum representing such saving is to be set off against any sum payable by the undertaker to Network Rail under this paragraph. 41. The undertaker must repay to Network Rail all fees, costs, charges and expenses reasonably and properly incurred by Network Rail— (a) in constructing any part of a specified work on behalf of the undertaker as provided by paragraph 36(4) or in constructing any protective works under the provisions of paragraph 36(5) including, in respect of any permanent protective works, a capitalised sum representing the cost of maintaining and renewing those works; (b) in respect of the approval by the engineer of plans submitted by the undertaker and the supervision by the engineer of the construction of a specified work and otherwise in connection with the implementation of the provisions of this Part of this Schedule; (c) in respect of the employment or procurement of the services of any inspectors and other persons whom it is reasonably necessary to appoint for inspecting, watching and lighting railway property and for preventing, so far as may be reasonably practicable, interference, obstruction, danger or accident arising from the construction or failure of a specified work;
62
(d) in respect of any additional temporary lighting of railway property in the vicinity of the specified works, being lighting made reasonably necessary by reason or consequence of the construction or failure of a specified work; and (e) in respect of any special traffic working resulting from any speed restrictions which may, in the opinion of the engineer, require to be imposed by reason or in consequence of the construction or failure of a specified work or from the substitution or diversion of services which may be reasonably necessary for the same reason. 42. If at any time after the completion of a specified work, not being a work vested in Network Rail, Network Rail gives notice to the undertaker informing it that the state of maintenance of any part of the specified work appears to be such as adversely affects the operation of railway property, the undertaker, on receipt of such notice, must take such steps as may be reasonably necessary to put that specified work in such state of maintenance as not adversely to affect railway property. 43. Any additional expenses which Network Rail may reasonably and properly incur in altering, reconstructing, maintaining or working railway property under any powers existing at the making of this Order by reason of the existence of a specified work, provided that 56 days’ previous notice of the commencement of such alteration, reconstruction, maintenance or working has been given to the undertaker, must be repaid by the undertaker to Network Rail. 44.—(1) The undertaker must pay to Network Rail all costs, charges, damages and expenses not otherwise provided for in this Part of this Schedule which may be occasioned to or reasonably and properly incurred by Network Rail— (a) by reason of the construction, working or maintenance of a specified work, or the failure of such a work; or (b) by reason of any act or omission of the undertaker or of any person in its employ or of its contractors or others whilst engaged upon a specified work, and the undertaker must indemnify Network Rail from and against all claims and demands arising out of or in connection with a specified work or any such failure, act or omission; and the fact that any act or thing may have been done by Network Rail on behalf of the undertaker or in accordance with plans approved by the engineer or in accordance with any requirement of the engineer or under his supervision must not (if it was done without negligence on the part of Network Rail or of any person in its employ or of its contractors or agents) excuse the undertaker from any liability under the provisions of this sub-paragraph. (2) Network Rail must give the undertaker reasonable notice of any claim or demand arising out of or in connection with a specified work or any failure act or omission mentioned in subparagraph (1) and no settlement or compromise of such a claim or demand is to be made without the prior consent of the undertaker. (3) The sums payable by the undertaker under sub-paragraph (1) may include a sum equivalent to the relevant costs. (4) Subject to the terms of any agreement between Network Rail and a train operator regarding the timing or method of payment of the relevant costs in respect of that train operator, Network Rail must promptly pay to each train operator the amount of any sums which Network Rail receives under sub-paragraph (3) which relates to the relevant costs of that train operator. (5) The obligation under sub-paragraph (3) to pay Network Rail the relevant costs will, in the event of default, be enforceable directly by any train operator concerned to the extent that the relevant costs would be payable to that operator under sub-paragraph (4). (6) In this paragraph— “the relevant costs” means the costs, direct losses and expenses (including loss of revenue) reasonably incurred by each train operator as a consequence of any restriction of the use of Network Rail’s railway network as a result of the construction, maintenance or failure of a specified work or any such act or omission as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1); and
63
“train operator” means any person who is authorised to act as the operator of a train by a licence under section 8 of the Railways Act 1993(a). 45. Network Rail, on receipt of a request from the undertaker, must from time to time provide the undertaker free of charge with written estimates of the costs, charges, expenses and other liabilities for which the undertaker is or will become liable under this Part of this Schedule (including the amount of the relevant costs mentioned in paragraph 44) and with such information as may reasonably enable the undertaker to assess the reasonableness of any such estimate or claim made or to be made under this Part of this Schedule (including any claim relating to those relevant costs). 46. In the assessment of any sums payable to Network Rail under this Part of this Schedule there must not be taken into account any increase in the sums claimed that is attributable to any action taken by or any agreement entered into by Network Rail if that action or agreement was not reasonably necessary and was taken or entered into with a view to obtaining the payment of those sums by the undertaker under this Part of this Schedule or increasing the sums so payable. 47. The undertaker, no later than 28 days from the date that the plans submitted to and certified by the Secretary of State in accordance with article 55 (certification of plans etc) are certified by the Secretary of State, must provide a set of those plans to Network Rail in the form of a computer disc with read only memory, or equivalent electronic storage medium.

(3) The undertaker must have regard to any consultation response received from C.RO under sub-paragraph (2) and must forward a copy of that response as part of the material it submits to the Secretary of State or the MMO or the Conservancy Authority or any written scheme or proposed alteration to the design drawings that it submits to the relevant planning authority, to which this paragraph applies, together with a statement explaining how it has had regard to any consultation response received from C.RO under this paragraph. 59. Any operations for the construction of any tidal work approved in accordance with this Order and to which paragraph 58 applies, once commenced, must be carried out by the undertaker so that C.RO does not suffer more interference than is reasonably practicable, and an officer or other appointed person of C.RO is entitled at all reasonable times, on giving such notice as may be reasonable in the circumstances, to inspect and survey such operations. 60. The Harbour Authority must not in the exercise of the powers conferred by this Order interfere with any marks, lights or other navigational aids in the river relating to HST without the agreement of C.RO, and must ensure that access to such aids remains available during and following construction of any tidal works. 61. The undertaker must pay to C.RO the reasonable costs incurred by C.RO of such alterations to the marking and lighting of the navigational channel of the river as may be necessary during or in consequence of the construction of a tidal work or the use of the authorised development, including but without limitation, paying the reasonable costs of C.RO incurred in raising the height of the “IsoGWR.4 s” sector light positioned in the entrance of North Killingholme Haven at HST, in the event that activities related to the construction or operation of the authorised development obscure or obstruct the visibility of this sector light to vessels approaching HST and in its approach channels. 62. The undertaker must afford to C.RO such facilities as C.RO may reasonably require for the placing and maintenance on any tidal works of signals, tide-boards, tide-gauges or other apparatus for the safety or benefit of navigation. 63. The undertaker must provide and maintain on any tidal works such fog signalling apparatus as may be reasonably required by C.RO and must properly operate such apparatus during periods of restricted visibility for the purpose of warning vessels of the existence of the relevant works. 64. After the purpose of any temporary tidal work in or that may affect the HST approach channel has been accomplished and after a reasonable period of notice in writing from C.RO requiring it do so, the undertaker, without unnecessary delay, must remove that work or any materials relating to it which may have been placed below the level of high water by or on behalf of the undertaker and, on its failing to do so within a reasonable period after receiving such notice, C.RO may remove the same and charge the undertaker with the reasonable expense of doing so, which expense the undertaker must repay to C.RO. 65. If any tidal work is abandoned or falls into decay and is in such a condition so as to interfere or cause reasonable apprehension that it may interfere with navigation in the river so that it may affect HST or access to HST in any way, C.RO may by notice in writing require the undertaker either to repair or to restore the specified work, or any part of it, or to remove the work and restore
66
the site of that work to its condition prior to the construction of the specified work, to such an extent and to such limits as C.RO thinks proper acting reasonably. 66.—(1) The undertaker must not allow vessels associated with the construction of the authorised development to obstruct or remain in the approach channel when vessels are arriving at and sailing from HST.
